Overlay

The Overlay is the two-dimensional plan view of the data. The overlay data is color coded by its Earthwork 4D layer. Light Blue represents Design Surface Data Lines which have elevation and are used to create the 3D surface. Green represents Existing Surface Data Lines used to create the 3D Surface. Brown represents the Annotation Lines which have no elevation and are not used to form the 3D surface. Data in layers being transferred from CAD Transfer Mode is automatically sent to the Annotation layer if it has no elevation. Typing O on the keyboard toggles the display of the overlay. Typing T toggles the display of the cut/fill shading.
